Have you read "In Session: The Bond Between Women and Their Therapists" ? It was so immensely helpful to me in normalizing my feelings toward my therapist.

I can't say I've gotten to the other side completely even after all this time. I don't need him so much on a day to day basis, but I still get hysterical at the thought of quitting.

Have you tried telling your therapist you would like to have a serious conversation about this, that doesn't hinge on validating your feelings? Validation might well be part of it, because what she really thinks might be validating to you. But maybe it could expand a bit from that to how she foresees your therapy going?
